As far as I can tell, every single purported source here is a fake with the exception of this roseandquesenberry.net obit. The links in the article are mostly WP:EASTEREGGs or not verifiable to McAllister. In searching for "Isiac McAllister", "Samuel Isiac McAllister", "Samuel McAllister", and " Isiaac Squared" (the purported band), it is evident it is not close to WP:GNG or the musician notability standard. The band does exist, but it has performed at a very local level, like a local pub (Charlie's Pub in Fayetteville WV). Mvqr (talk) 14:39, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:TNT and the arguments stated in the nomination. Deauthorized. ^(talk) 15:41, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and note about potential promotional editing. Unable to find the article subject's date of birth openly published and it is not in the cited source. It's a common basic information that is often provided to article authors by third party. The kind of false sources are a rather common public relations editing tactic.

• Delete - Looks like the creator might have tried to post fake sources, such as the last one with the title ""Isiac McAllister Admitted to Hospital Following Collapsed Lung" that only links to CBS.com and when you search Google nothing comes up about it.Naomijeans (talk) 03:26, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - I must admit that the fakery in this article is rather impressive, especially the blue links that go to irrelevant WP locations and the references containing titles of news articles that don't exist. He did not make the Billboard chart and was not profiled in that magazine, he did not collaborate with Reba, and those are only a few of the hoaxes in this article. If only this much energy could be put into getting the kid a gig. Also, sorry about the collapsed lung and all, but I've been in the hospital a few times too and that doesn't get me a Wikipedia article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 18:21, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
